(Rankings as of August 22, 1994) The pre-US Open jockeying for position continued last week, with a lot of points won and lost in the Top 16 (the positions that decide the seedings at Flushing Meadow), but with surprisingly little effect on the makeup of that group. Wayne Ferreira's win in Indianapolis over Olivier Delaitre gives him Mover of the Week status with a 294- point gain. Marc Rosset's runnerup performance in New Haven netted him 245 points and snuck him into the Top 16. In the Mover of the Year contest, Yevgeny Kafelnikov has now passed Pete Sampras, having gained 1377 points since January 3. As for the players moving in a ...uh... more *downward* direction, Jim Courier leads the pack, having waved goodbye to 268 points (and maybe his career?) with his 2nd-round loss to Alex Corretja in Indy (a title he won in 1993). Andrei Medvedev also felt the sting of not defending, losing 229 points. Andre Agassi assured himself of the title "Dangerous Floater" at the Open by losing 156 points and dropping to #20 in the rankings. Loser of the Year (perhaps in more ways than one) of players still in the Top 100 remains Jim Courier, who has lost more than 1500 points since January 3. No one else still in the list comes anywhere close. Will he play the Open? I say yes! (ooh! a fearless prediction!) Diego Nargiso is this week's only newcomer to the Top 100, while Gabriel Markus was nice enough drop out to make room for him. 8-) This Rank Points Points Diff. Diff.
